Talentum Flame Detectors

The Talentum® range of specialist flame detector products has been developed to protect critical and front line industries from the risk of fire. Talentum Flame Detectors are ideal for applications where fast acting and accurate detection of fire is essential.

Product Overview

An optical flame detector senses the heat and light produced by a flame, in an instant

Using infra-red (IR) sensing technology flames can be detected through such elements as dust, steam and smoke; they are also immune to the effects of wind or draughts of air. With the addition of an ultra-violet (UV) sensor a flame detector becomes highly immune to false signals such as sunlight. The optical sensors within the detector receive the IR and/or UV radiation emitted by the flames. The processor within the detector analyses the optical sensor signal waveforms and determines if they represent flames and if so accepts them. If the signals do not match the internal algorithms for flames then they are considered to be false sources and rejected.

So rapid is the detection, and so respected is the Talentum® solution, that the BLOODHOUND Project to set a new land speed record of 1000mph has selected Talentum® as its flame detection device.

Talentum® Dual IR Flame Detector Range

These flame detectors give high immunity to false flame sources. They have internal self-test sources that check the detector’s operation when remotely instructed.

They can operate on a conventional 2-wire (14-28 Vdc) fire systems or 4-20mA process control systems. Relay contacts are also available for Fire and Fault signals. The detectors’ operating modes can be user selected giving a choice of alarm currents, response times, latching or non-latching outputs and sensitivity. The detectors have a maximum ambient operating temperature of 55°C.

Key Features

High immunity to false sources

For applications with visible light present

Detects invisible flames from fuels such as Hydrogen and other inorganic fuels

Talentum® Triple IR Flame Detector Range

These flame detectors give excellent immunity to false flame sources both indoors or out. They have internal self-test sources that check the detector’s operation when remotely instructed.

Talentum® UV/Dual IR Flame Detector Range

These flame detectors give the highest immunity to false flame sources both indoors or out. They have internal self-test sources that check the detector’s operation when remotely instructed. The maximum ambient temperature is normally 55°C or 85°C for the higher temperature specification detectors.
